telephone limits

I have 60 minutes left on my cell phone plan until the end of August. Thus I think I won't be doing much phone calling back to Seattle until Sep 1. (I'm sorry, imtboo!)

If you'd like to talk to me, I can send anybody who wants to know my hotel's phone number.

[rant] broken software

why does EVALB not compile? When I change the obvious things, I get warnings, but the resulting executable simply does the wrong thing -- with no error.

Furthermore the makefile has -Wall but then the code itself has stuff that generates warnings all over it -- like void main instead of int main.

Could this be an effect of the latest gcc? I'm using 3.4.2 but I imagine the code hasn't been looked at since 2.96. :(

[update: fixed; the compiling problems were real but also PEBKAC: once I got it to compile, I was invoking it wrong.]

off to the East Bay

I'm off to spend some time in Berkeley and Oakland for the weekend. I may be checking email; may not. Hope you are all enjoying yourselves this weekend!
